I prefer top posting. I won't go into the reasons why but I would bottom
post if everyone wanted me to.
I think the most important point is to remove all the 'junk' (ip adreses
etc.) , and delete all the stuff not relevant. Some threads are very
difficult to read.

The threads would be easier to follow if everyone stck to the same method!
I think someone's already said that in this thread though!

I've seen this debate before in other groups and the consensus was that
bottom posting is far better as regards the natural flow. The reason top
posting exists is that some readers like OE place the cursor at the top of
the page, which is lazy, instead of the more natural and more logical way
of
replying after the quote.

To those who prefer top posting, do you make a habit of replying to
something before its said? Surely it is far better to read the quote and
see
the response than vice versa, having to scroll down to work out what the
reply is referring to?

I would like to suggest that "quote then reply" is the preferred norm in
u.s.w....

Bottom posting is so annoying. I've been following this thread and now I
have to scroll down past everything I've already read to read what the
previous writer(s) have already written.





























I hate people who only write short replies unnecessarily
